George Phillips of Meridian Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife
told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see
from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the
light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned
the police and told them that there were burglars in his shed. The officer
asked, "Is someone in your house?" and he said no. The officer replied that
all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an
officer would be along when available.

George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
"Hello I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my
shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now ‘cause I just shot them
all." Then he hung up. Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed
Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence. Of
course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot
them!" George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
